Simon Collins has typically turned up another case of someone who doesn't want to work if it doesn't pay better than being on a benefit. Significantly better.
She isn't unusual. Not by any means.
Read it and recall that 46 percent of Maori females aged 20-29 are on welfare.

A call for the suspension of political agendas invariably means the suspension of all political agendas except those of the person making the call.
And saying that civil liberties should not stand in the way invariably means the person making the call wants to shoot people in pursuit of their political agenda.
Sorry, meant to post this on blog below.

when you count WFF, Accommodation Supplement, Student Allowances, Loans & the "Interest Free" exemption, Taxpayer-paid "Schooling" (not Education!) for their kids, Taxpayer-paid GP & Hospital & ACC I think you'll find it's as close to 100% as makes no difference
Better than my friend who was made redundant because she was not prepared to increase her hours to full-time. She found that she was $50 per week better off not working, even when her parents had been providing free childcare outside of school hours.
"Better off" is not all about money.
Some would claim that the pros v cons shoudl also include time to spend with the family (a common argument by those on benefits as to their 'rights' and how being forced to work destroys family time), but they should also include the softer things like role-modelling, pride in yourself, sense of purpose and work ethic.

It's hard to describe how utterly disgusting mainstream New Zealanders find this fact - and also her response to the situation.

Oh good grief! All of those things are massive (and massively expensive) luxuries NZ simply cannot afford - not for bludgers, especially not for bludgers by choice! They have never, ever been widely available, even to the best and worthiest people.
It's time to face the simple arithmetic: this problem will only be solved when the only way to buy food is to work. And the solution to that is simplicity itself.
NZ can no longer afford welfare - if it ever could!
Stopping welfare will resolve all these problems, pretty much overnight.
I will fund her one way ticket to Australia, for her and her family.

Where of course they will not be eligible for either welfare or charity and will starve anyway. It is of course internationally repugnant to be exporting our bludgers to Aussie or anywhere else: we should get our own house in order first.
Much, much better to save your money - they do not deserve it - and just ensure that their welfare entitlements in NZ are the same as they are today in Aus: ZERO.
But this is a good point: one of the first signs NZ is getting serious about welfare "reform" (elimination of welfare) is that Australia will close its borders to indigent Kiwis!

Re-read what I wrote. I was making the point that having people in work helps them, and that 'excuses' such as spending time with family (which is apparently a valid excuse for beneficiaries but not for the general working population) should not be accepted.
